Hi all,

I've just released a native Apple Silicon version of the game. If you're on a Mac you can download it from Steam the same as Windows.

This is Apple Silicon only - M1 and later - on macOS Sonoma (14) or newer, with 16 GB of memory running on Metal. Intel Macs aren't supported unfortunately, I looked at doing both but it would have meant maintaining two Mac builds and I don't own an Intel Mac to properly be able to test it.

I've implemented MetalFX, which is similar to DLSS. I've been testing on an M4 with 16 GB, which I recommend. An M1 with 16 GB should also be able to run it if you turn the quality down a bit. Since Macs have shared memory instead of separate RAM and VRAM, you'll probably need more memory than Windows to run the larger event models.

The first time you open it, macOS may sit there for a minute or two checking the app, but after that it should be fine. Since I only have one the Mac to test it on, if there are any issues please let me know and I'll get them sorted as soon as possible.

Back to working on bugs and the DLC! I'll have an update here for you soon.

Joe
